How can such a large amount of money be given to a service that is rated as inadequate for such a poorly defined project ? For several years Ofsted has judged the West Berks children's services as not up to scratch but no significant changes have been made and now this ! Stand back and watch a spending jamboree take place until the money run's out and they all claim it was not their fault (no one ever gets the sack for underperformance at West Berks).

And now an absolute muddling of reality. A lack of revenue is not the causative factor for a budgetary overspend. I suggest that they consider the pay rises awarded staff and the associated pension costs may be one factor together with an ever expanding general and out of control overhead. It can not be the provision of actual services as these continue to be in decline. What a complete and utter incompetent shambles of a council this is.

No one is ever held to account. Yet we continue to pay vast salaries to people who take no responsibility, bear no risk, and are demonstrably failing to manage even the small amount of work they are left with after austerity cuts and process transfers. Self generated rules protect from removal and why would anyone even consider resignation? As the saying goes, 'you couldn't make it up'. Mind,
